Note

Oh, I won’t tell you whether it’s delicious or not! Zucchini is gone!

We sat down together with my mother and sentenced them to a bite and tea!

Yes, and in the end the output turns out to be small! But, if you consider that we have enough zucchini all year round, then you can cook such sweets all year round too! Experience already exists

I was not immediately lucky with zucchini. I bought beautiful, thin, dense zucchini, and then it began ... one turned out to be with seeds that had to be removed, cut out, which is why it wilted with rings. The second one seemed to be well cut ... but after the juice was released, seeds also appeared ...

But, the deed is done, the zucchini needs to be done ... and dried zucchini of different shapes! Choose all the same zucchini even inside, without seeds, then the squash gummies will turn out beautiful and tasty.

And cut into circles 2 cm in size, after extracting the juice, they will turn out to be the desired thickness.

Do not pour the resulting syrup, boil, strain, and it can be used later in tea, for pancakes, for soaking the cakes, and so on. You can also blend this syrup with others, which I did, blended with plum, peach syrup - it comes in handy!

Cook with pleasure and enjoy your meal!Sun-dried zucchini

Admin, please tell me, how can you store the data for the delicious food? As usual, dried fruit, in a glass jar with a lid?
The fact is that our friends filled us up with zucchini (in their dacha, like the old friends Alpha from the children's favorite TV series, they did not plant zucchini, but they filled everything!).
We are no longer able to eat them, especially since we are now alone with my husband and are constantly at work. Our gluttonous pug helped us with zucchini, but apparently decided to stop his diet, he was more drawn to calorie food.
There are no jars for jam, but I think my arkharovtsy-sweets will like these "candied fruits", but they are not there now, they have a VACATION, and the zucchini must be put somewhere! So I'm smelling the back of my head ... I'll cook it, and store it as, until the arrival of at least the kids.
Thanks in advance.

You cook, cook - the sweets will live until they arrive, just count the time how much they will live later, after their arrival

I still have "bad" storage, I do everything for trial, for a little different, and almost everything is immediately destroyed
tanchik
Tanya -Admin, thanks! I have already gone to cut this mountain of taverns. My husband was immensely happy when I said that I had found a use for them. Even to my warning that the dryer will hum, he said: let it hum, just put them somewhere!
tanchik
My zucchini is drying. Only now I don’t understand if the zucchini roofing felts "dry up" or the husband helps them dry out straight from the dryer. Well, somehow the upper tray has dried out badly, there is nothing left, I had to remove it. Now I look the second began to evaporate somewhere with each appearance of her husband in the kitchen.

Romchka, dried zucchini are really delicious, I did it last year "for trial", the test went off with a bang, I had to repeat, the repeat went right there ... Only I dried in the oven, for lack of a dryer, but I highly recommend everyone to try it awfully delicious !!!

Adriana
pljshik, you can't if you don't have time
Admin, thank you very much for the awesome candied fruits: from vegetables, healthy, cheap, heart is calm for the quality, but delicious so much that even the "Crimean dessert" once again does not want to take
Admin

Girls, THANKS !!!!

So, I frankly write comments, I do not hide anything - it is eaten much faster than it is cooked!
Olekma
I have already cooked these candied fruits twice, I almost eat everything myself, and everything is not enough for me, such sweets. And most importantly from what? from zucchini !!! Thanks for the recipe

I tried to make watermelon peels using this technology.
After working on another longer recipe the process missed and screwed up the case.
Now everything has turned out great. And much faster.
Thank you Admin!

Feels denser on the tooth than zucchini. To taste, in my opinion, the watermelon spirit is still felt. The wife, returning from the dacha, also tried it. She said - she doesn't see the difference with zucchini. Perhaps because of the lemon.

And where were my eyes in summer and autumn, why did I overlook such a wonderful recipe
Well, nothing in the summer will definitely try.

I bought a dryer in the fall mainly because of this recipe. Thank you, Admin, for such a lovely thing!
Almost half of the zucchini harvest was spent on this delicacy. I made the last portion after the new year

The only thing is that I always add more strips of ginger. Well, I love the ginger-citrus taste! And the resulting product, in my opinion, is even tastier than candied ginger. Not to mention that it is much cheaper ...
Admin

Sveta, THANK YOU!!!

Yes, indeed, a budget option from zucchini, you can dry zucchini all winter And how delicious it is!
And you can make different additives, it already depends on the taste

I did everything exactly according to the Romin recipe, only together with the zest (though I usually only have lemon from citrus fruits) I also planted ginger in thin strips - a piece the size of a small potato. Then everything is as described in the recipe.
Well, and the zucchini, of course, not in circles - I cut it into pieces. What kind of circles are there from a three-kilogram carcass.
All the same - delicious!
Adriana
Thank you
I will please my husband that I also need a dryer

Admin, put 9.5kg of zucchini to marinate. I began to re-read the recipe, and then I also needed a lemon, but I forgot about it. Already now I will not buy it anywhere, can I add citric acid to the syrup and shake a little dried ginger on top of the zucchini when drying?

Zucchini itself is neutral in taste, even tasteless can be said
Therefore, you need to add something aromatic to taste. And since there is sugar in the syrup, it is advisable to add lemon, orange, ginger, zest and so on ... choose to taste
Olima
Admin, what do you think: 9.5kg fits on 10 Isidri pallets? Or did I get excited with so many?
Admin

Olima, in my opinion got excited Maybe it will turn out to shove, but on top of each other, which is why they will be wet (a lot of liquid from the syrup), and will dry for a very long time. Better to spread out in one row.

You can try to put some of the zucchini in a bowl and put it in the refrigerator for a couple of days, while the first batch is drying.

Next report is jerky zucchini! Dried 2.5 kg of zucchini, it turned out quite a bit, but this is just the beginning! I kept them in apricot syrup. For a long time, children could not determine what kind of "fruit" it was. We were surprised when we found out that this is a simple zucchini. Thank you, very tasty!

It even looks very good! Do you also give out zucchini by count?

Rommie. I have a huge thank you for the zucchini. They can be safely renamed as "Instant Dried Zucchini" I cooked plum jam in the syrup from the zucchini and put some of the syrup into the compote. Everything went into business and there is no problem what to do with the syrup
Vinochek
and I, along with the zucchini, threw zucchini and watermelon rinds. Om-Nom-nom!
These are the first crusts that I liked.
And last time I diluted the syrup with water and rolled it into jars like a compote.

Tanyusha, THANKS big for using the recipe! Therefore, I rarely do them, you can make a pelvis, and everything goes away instantly

And with renaming it will not work, they may be accused of plagiarism, they will not understand good intentions, let them be called so, and you yourself tell how delicious it is, and send it to the address
anscor
From 1 kg of zucchini (already peeled and without a core and seeds, that is, rings) I got 250 g of tasty candied fruits. Indeed, zucchini absorbs all tastes and smells. I only did it with orange peel, now I will experiment with lemon and ginger. Thanks for the recipe!
Admin
anscor, cook for health! Do not be afraid and make any additions according to your taste, zucchini is neutral in taste and will accept any aromas and tastes
svbone
Admin, thank you so much for the recipe! Made 2 kg of zucchini with lemon. I read rave reviews, but I still could not believe that ordinary zucchini could be so tasty (I will add that I do not welcome zucchini jam). And then such a delicacy turned out!
Admin

Svetlana, FOR HEALTH !!!

I agree, I also do not welcome marrow jam, but in this form everyone ate

Ladies, what do you think: pumpkin according to this recipe, how will it be? Is it worth it or not? It's just that now there is a large one, but with a not bright pumpkin flavor. It's still a long way to fall, I will have time to freeze it, but then I decided to try to make both zucchini and pumpkin this way. But doubts crept in.

It will work very well. Here, look at how I made Chips from turnip and kohlrabi. https://Mcooker-enn.tomathouse.com/index.php@option=com_smf&topic=143692.0, no one believed that it was turnip and kohlrabi
By this principle, you can make a pumpkin, the main thing is to choose the taste for vegetables, sugar, lemon juice
Nathalte
Thank you. I will try it now. Then I will unsubscribe)))

What do you think, is it possible to dry or dry SALT zucchini or watermelon rinds? We don't really like sweet things, but salty ones ... Zucchini and watermelons are also salted ... I'd love to hear your advice and opinions !!!
Nathalte
Made zucchini and pumpkin together.I liked the pumpkin better, it is so much stronger. I will do more. Thank you.
By the way, did anyone dry cucumbers? Because of the rains, a lot of them have grown.

Girls, there are many answers on drying in the topics, see here:

Juli_kate, there is a lot of salt and vinegar in pickles, they are unlikely to be dried. You can check it yourself: cut a pickled cucumber or tomato, zucchini and put on a tray with another drying, and see if it will dry out or not

what's the point? where are they then in the first? in a salad will not go, in a bite IMHO too. Maybe it's better to roll up salads?

Instead of roach
The idea is interesting. Cut large overgrown cucumbers, remove grains. Instead of sugar, take salt with an amount adjusted downward. Instead of lemon, brew garlic arrows (sorry, I already removed the garlic last week). Or brew dill. And then dry it in the standard way.

This is how I see a rough sketch of the technology.
And use it in a mixture with potato chips.
